I have an Anthony Maguire who married one of my ancestors Mary Friel. In the 1901 census he is listed with the Brogan family as a servant. Mary Friel's father, Philip Friel married a Margaret Brogan and Philip's brother also married a Brogan. Do you think that the Brogan family listed below may be family to Mary Friel?

Hi Janice, According to the Family Search site there was a Bridget Brogan born 6th July 1872 and an Elizabeth Brogan born 18th Sept 1874, Donegal to John Brogan and Isabella Britton. Also Anthony Maguire b 18th Nov 1879 Mountcharles to Hugh Maguire and Biddy Magever/Mageever, Catherine b 7th Dec 1876 and Patrick b 18th May 1878 to same parents. The Maguire family can be found in the 1901 Census at House 75 Mountcharles Town. Not sure if this will mean anything, but just in case. Good luck with your search, Bernie. -----Original Message----- From: donegaleire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:donegaleire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of JANICEFRIEL@aol.com Sent: 16 June 2011 16:13 To: irl-co-donegal@rootsweb.com; DONEGALEIRE@rootsweb.com Subject: [DONEGALEIRE] 1901 census I have an Anthony Maguire who married one of my ancestors Mary Friel.
